The Perfect Start to Break

As written from airplane on the way home.

I woke up to a lovely note from the roomie who had left early in the morning wishing me luck on my finals and a happy holiday.

I finished my last final and actually felt decent coming out of it.

It was warm and sunny weather.

I easily returned my rental textbook though I had spilled nail polish remover on it the night before and it reeked (they literally asked no questions).

I had lunch using my last dining hall swipe (so efficient!) with Meg. I got to say a final goodbye there to a friend who will be studying in Spain next semester.

I got to watch the One Direction movie whilst packing.

I decided not to do laundry but rather throw all my dirty clothes in a bag.

Though I had conveniently forgotten to bring a big suitcase with me, I managed to fit all my clothes into two minuscule bags instead.



I managed to write a blog post about finishing the semester though I was so done with classes and thinking.

I had a goodbye party with Veda, Nick and Meg. As in they walked me to the car and we hugged it out.

My two favorite T’s (Taylor and Teresa) drove me to the airport and we had a lovely chat catching up on our week. Giving and handing out wonderful (but probably actually not) advice on boys and dating.

The airport was decorated for the holidays and there was no line for luggage, security or Starbucks!

I was at my gate two hours early, but that turned out to be okay because #reunion with my chummy Sophie before we headed off home.


My flight is quite empty and I have a whole row to myself. In fact the back half of the plane is deserted.

I’m sitting across from a ucla (sucks) student who is on the hockey team. But (no judgements) he’s actually a bit cute – especially when he’s sleeping ;) – I’ve officially reached all creeper status on this blog.


And finally, I’m home!
